Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed October 4, 1913. Serial No. 793,450.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM J. STRAYER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex, State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful In'iprovements in Hangers for Embahning-Bottles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appentains to make and use the same.

This invent-ion relates to hangers and is particularly adapted for association with bottles containing embalming fluids where by said bottle may be suspended with facility in inverted position as is customary in the operation of embalmin The object of the invention resides in the provision of a device of the character named which may be readily associated with and disassociated from embahning fluid bottles so as to obviate the necessity of pouring the fluid from one bottle into another bottle provided with suspending means, such transfer of embalming fluid being objectionable to those handling same.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the details of con struotion and in the arrangement and com bination of pants to be hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference denote cm'responding parts in the several views, and in which Figure 1. is a view in elevation of an embah'ning fluid bottle having the improved hanger associated therewith and supported in suspension through the medium thereof; Fig. 2, a bottom view of what is shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a section on the line of Fig. 1, and Fig. 1-, a detail perspective view of the hanger detached from the bottle.

Referring to the drawings 10 indicates an ()l'llbtll'llll'lg fluid bottle having the usual neck 11 the reduction of which wit-h respect to the body of the bottle forms the shoulder 12. Inserted in the neck 11 is a stopper 13, formed preferably of rubber and carrying the usual air and discharge tubes 14 and 15 respectively.

The hanger is shown as comprising a ring 16 to which are secured at diametrically 0pposite points corresponding terminals of flexible straps 17 and 18. The strap 18 carries on the end thereof remote from the ring 16 a buckle element 15) with which the corresponding end of the strap 17 is adapted to be engaged to secure said straps in embracing relation to the bottle 10 as will hereinafter appear. The strap 18 also carries an eye 20 the purpose of which will become presently apparent.

In applying the hanger to the bottle 10 the ring 16 is engaged over the neck 11 and against the shoulder 12. The straps 1.7 and 18 are then carried along opposite sides of the bottle 10 respectively and then over the bottom of said bottle when the end of the strap 17 is engaged with the buckle element 19 to secure said straps in embracing relation to the bottle. After the device is thus applied a double hook member 91 is engaged at one end with the eye 20 and at its other end with a supporting member 22. In this manner the bottle 10 may be readily suspended in inverted position for use. It will be obvious that when the bottle 10 becomes empty the hanger may be readily disassociated therewith and as readily associated with another bottle containing the de sired quantity of fluid.

It will be noted that the air tube 14 is slidably mounted in the stopper 13 whereby same may be adjusted to conform to different depths of bottles.

What is claimed is A device for facilitating the suspension of an clnbalming fluid bottle in inverted position comprising a rin adapted to be engaged over the neck ot a bottle and against the shoulder thereof, straps having corresponding ends secured to the ring at diametrically opposite points in the latter, said straps being adapted to lie along opposite sides of the bottle, and means for securing the free ends of said straps together.

In testimony whereof, I atlix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.

IVILLIAM J. STRAYER.
